I got breakfast, not much, a bowl of porridge, but this porridge is thick, and there are two dried radishes in it!

Shanzi and Li Goudan got together and ate it in a big gulp, and in less than a while, they ate a large bowl of porridge with this dried radish into their stomachs.

Touching his stomach, Li Goudan said with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable, I didn't have it when I was in the mine before." ”

Shanzi licked the bottom of the bowl again with his tongue, until the porcelain bowl he had given him was licked and shiny, and he said disdainfully: "Come on, just peel that miser and want him to provide you with breakfast?"

It would be good if he could provide a bowl of porridge for lunch, but it was still the kind of sparse one, and he was hungry before an hour in the afternoon after drinking it.

If it weren't for the money to go back, who would do it for him!

But this dog's day, if you don't give us food, he doesn't even have to pay the wages we worked so hard to earn!

Damn! Who is it if you don't him! ”

Speaking of the former mine owner, Li Goudan also showed an angry look on his face.

"That's it, when Lao Tzu smashed his head with a mine manuscript, he still threatened me, saying that he would kill me if he didn't die, what happened in the end? Hum! Then let him die first! ”

Carefully putting his bowl away, Shanzi said: "Okay, it's all over, and now we are at this point, it's not much better."

Next, it would be nice to work hard to save your life. ”

Li Goudan also carefully put away the dishes and chopsticks, this is the guy who eats by himself later, and he can't lose it.

Road:

"Brother Shanzi, don't worry, I know.

However, if there is such good food here, I think it is much better than in the mines. ”

"Okay, don't dream, maybe it's because we came here on the first day to let us eat something good, and then it's not so good."

"Can't you?"

"Who knows......"

The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of others, everyone was eating in a big gulp, and the soldiers of the Pingwu Army were a little unfinished after eating this morning's porridge:

"Why is this breakfast vegetarian, not even an egg?"

The comrade on the side gestured with his chin to the miners who were drinking porridge next to him and said:

"Look at how many more people have eaten, and now they are using our military rations, and the quality will definitely decline.

However, it is estimated that it has only been a day or two, and I heard from the official next to the court official that the court official has already sent a signal to Bianjing, and the grain ship will arrive this afternoon, and we will be able to restore the food standard at that time. ”

"Well, alas...... That's fine. ”

The soldiers of the Pingwei Army, who had not eaten too much, could only nod helplessly.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Dingguo gulped down the porridge in the bowl, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuffs and asked Zhou Lin, who was still eating porridge slowly: "Zhou Shilang, when will the material ship of the imperial court over there arrive?"

All we are using here now are our military rations, and you also know that there are not many soldiers on the march and fighting, and it was expected that it would be enough for us to eat for more than ten days, but this time there are 200,000 more mouths, and I am afraid that we can eat it directly today.

That's it, it's all because we lowered the ration standards of the soldiers!

You can't delay it for too long, so that my brother under my command will have an opinion. ”

Zhou Lin was taken aback when he heard this, and pointed to the porridge bowl on the table and said in surprise: "Is this still a lower standard?" ”

Now he knows that he is eating the military rations of the Ping Wei army, and he also knows that the military rations of the Ping Wei army will be tight if he feeds so many people at once.

But this morning, he was still a little shocked when he saw that the porridge that Ping Weijun was eating was actually made of polished rice.

At this time, ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty, who used polished rice to cook porridge in the morning, even ordinary landlords couldn't help but eat like this, and most of them just ate chestnut rice porridge.

Now that they heard Li Dingguo's words, such a good breakfast still lowered the standard in the eyes of others, so how good they had to eat in Yunzhou County!

Li Dingguo used the toothpick he carried with him to pick his teeth while not caring and said:

"This is naturally lowering the standard, we used to be in Yunzhou County, and the standard set for us by King Yun's crown was that there was porridge and vegetables in the morning, and one egg and one cake per person.

This is our normal breakfast standard.

The conditions are not so good when going out, and we usually have at least one cake. There are no bread and eggs.

Now, in order to save food, the brothers are not given bread in the morning, and the food standard is simply falling off a cliff! ”

Zhou Lin's mouth opened wide in shock.

What's what?

What did he just hear?

These soldiers under the command of King Yun, when they were in Yunzhou County, they had to have porridge, vegetables, cakes and eggs just for breakfast!

Even the palace guards of the Great Song Dynasty don't have this standard!

Where is this big soldier, even the landlords in the countryside are reluctant to eat like this!

No wonder these soldiers can fight, and if they eat so well, they can't fight a little, King Yun is afraid that he will not be able to tear them up!

But, but this food is too good, isn't it?

Zhou Lin was frightened. He didn't dare to continue to ask about the standard of lunch and dinner, otherwise he was afraid that he would be stimulated.

If he knew that the Yunzhou Army now had meat for at least two meals a day, he would not only be unable to close his mouth wide, but he would even be shocked to drop his jaw!

This is the food standard of the Yunzhou Army, and this also symbolizes the heritage power of the Yunzhou Army.

can supply this kind of food standard to the army for a long time, Zhao Jun said that there is no one else except our entire Great Song Dynasty!

As the so-called emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, other people's soldiers are half-full, their own meals are full, the meat on the body is rubbing up, and the big guys are also strong when they fight, screaming and rushing up, how can the Yunzhou army not be strong?

"Zhou Shilang! Zhou Shilang! ”

Zhou Lin, who was in a daze, was awakened by the gradually increasing call sound, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Li Dingguo was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"What?"

Zhou Lin was a little dazed.

Li Dingguo sighed, and had to repeat his question just now: "I was going to ask Zhou Shilang, is there any food in the materials transported by the imperial court this time?" ”

Zhou Lin came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Yes, this official specially sent back the news that a large amount of food is needed here, and asked them to prepare it according to the amount of 200,000 people a month, and when the food arrives, he will return the food that General Li and you have subsidized for the past two days." ”

Li Dingguo finally put his mind at ease when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's so good." ”

At this time, Zhou Lin said: "Originally, the imperial court prepared a sum of silver to recruit the people, but now it seems that it is not needed, and the official is going to use this silver to go to Xiangbei to buy more grain and materials for building river embankments." ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was puzzled: "If you buy grain, you will be able to understand, why do you need to buy more materials for building river embankments?" Didn't these courts provide for it? ”

Zhou Lin smiled bitterly and said: "General Li, you are not in the officialdom, so you don't know, the things allocated by the imperial court have never been all bearded and tailed from beginning to end."

The matter of building the river embankment is the saint himself staring at him, they don't dare to go too far, the materials and money of the ten cities should be in our hands, there should be about seven cities left.

If it weren't for us, this matter would have been decided by His Majesty himself. It's good that they can leave five achievements.

This is definitely not enough, and the remaining silver can be used to purchase more materials, so that the materials for the construction of the river embankment should be almost enough. ”

Zhou Lin said, shaking his head with a sad and helpless face.

Li Dingguo said: "Zhou Shilang, this time His Majesty personally ordered the supervision, and they all dared to stretch out their hands, didn't you think of reporting them to Your Majesty?" ”

Zhou Lin shook his head: "General Li, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know?" ”

Li Dingguo was stunned, but listened to Zhou Lin continue:

"Your Majesty knows all these things they have done, but he is just pretending not to know.

Now not only them, but almost the entire public officialdom is in this kind of atmosphere, and anything that passes through their hands will definitely be intercepted.

And if you don't go through them, then you can't do it, so even if you know that they will reach out in it, Your Majesty can only turn a blind eye. ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo suddenly laughed and said:

"How can Ben feel that Your Majesty, the emperor, is so aggrieved? It's not as comfortable as our prince.

If this is in our Yunzhou County, who dares to do this, the next day the prince will dare to go to them to meet the grandmother they haven't seen for a long time.

According to the prince's temperament of liking to cut grass and eradicate roots, the most likely thing is to send the other party's family on the road neatly. ”

Zhou Lin smiled bitterly, but he couldn't refute it.

The two talked for a while, and then dispersed again, Li Dingguo still had a lot of things on his hands.

The troops of nearly 20,000 people are busy with all kinds of miscellaneous things every day, and he has no time to chat here.

And Zhou Lin also had to prepare to arrange the unloading of the ship in the afternoon, and there were many things to be busy, so the two of them dispersed.

The time soon came to ring noon.

After eating this morning, Shanzi and Li Goudan and others were taken to their place of work today to identify the place, according to the soldiers of the Pingwei Army who brought them, there will be a transport ship from the imperial court this afternoon, and their main task today is to put down all the things on board.

Not long after I finished recognizing the place, it was time to put food again.

This time, there was no need for the soldiers of the Pingwu army to urge, and many experienced miners consciously lined up, holding their own bowls and chopsticks and rushing to the place where the food was put with anticipation, and the soldiers of the Pingwu army who watched them like that rolled their eyes for a while.

Just for a little food, as for it?

……

As for it? As for it, of course.

You must know what kind of life they used to live, doing the hardest and most tiring work, but drinking gruel every day, or chestnut rice porridge, sometimes they can't even eat porridge.

Where is the life of a man, it's not even as good as a beast.

A breakfast this morning suddenly excited the big guys.

The porridge made of polished rice was still so thick, and everyone began to look forward to the lunch meal early.

Now that the time has finally come, everyone immediately can't wait to run over and wait for dinner.

They want to see what they're going to eat at noon today.

The soldiers in charge of putting the meal were startled when they saw so many people rushing over, and it took a while to react.

Without delay, he immediately opened the bucket containing the rice, and in the next moment, the smell of wheat instantly poured into everyone's noses.

In that bucket was a large bucket full of white flour steamed buns.

Another bucket on the side is pickles, and there is a white song soup next to it!

Whoa!

In an instant, all the miners' saliva flowed all over the ground!

Damn it, where is the food for the captives, even if it's so rich during the New Year's Eve at home.

That's white flour! White-flour steamed buns!
